These dogs are unadulterated old-time Southern goodness, with the spicy chili kicking in a wicked burn balanced out by crisp, sweet slaw. The neon red of the dog itself may startle you — all the more reason to have several and let the shock sink in. $2.15 each.Food Type: hot dogslaw dogNeighborhoods: OTP Atlanta::Marietta

Digging into the noodles moments later offers joy times two. There are plenty of variations on the house special, but the braised beef version is our current favorite — offering chunky cubes of meat and a rich stock to counter those chewy noodles. Slurp away. $8.50.Food Type: soupAtlanta Chinatownchinese foodnoodle soupNeighborhoods: OTP Atlanta::Buford HighwayBusiness Neighborhood: Buford Highway]]>2017-04-20T19:53:37+00:002017-04-20T19:53:37+00:00https://creativeloafing.com/item294Tteokbokki at Jeju SaunaBusiness: Jeju SaunaYear: 2017Dish Images: Dish description: After being stripped naked and scrubbed within an inch of your life, there’s something uniquely soothing about settling onto a cool tile floor and dipping into a steaming pot of tteokbokki.

Crisp cubes of fresh jicama, creamy avocado and papaya provide a gentle backdrop for fresh lime juice and salt marinated scallops, prawns and octopus tossed in a bright jalapeno-pineapple vinaigrette and served inside half a fleshy baby coconut. A delicate sprinkling of edible flowers and a thicket of crispy fried plantains complete the dish, ideal for devouring on Yebo’s fairy-lit patio on warm summer nights. $18.Food Type: seafoodcevicheNeighborhoods: Intown Neighborhoods::Buckhead

Meaty drumsticks and wings are seasoned with lime, pepper and garlic; baked, then fried for maximum juiciness; and drizzled with a house-made ancho chile ranch dressing you’ll want to bottle up and take home. Then there are the waffles: fluffy, slightly spicy and studded with meaty lardons of applewood smoked bacon. Douse the whole dang plate in tequila maple syrup and eat up.Food Type: Michele Tompkinsfried chickenNeighborhoods: OTP Atlanta::College Park/East Point/Hapeville

In fact, Sarah’s sunflower comes dangerously close to being classified as a cinnamon roll, but it’s the gentle bath in hot oil that allows it to bloom into doughnut supremacy. $1.69.Food Type: dessertdoughnutNeighborhoods: OTP Atlanta::Norcross

Grab a cafeteria tray and some tongs to pick your own crab clusters from the ice chest, choose from various sizes of shrimp, lobster and fish from the deli case or pick from live seafood (right now it’s crawfish season, meaning you can meet the little critters face-to-face before they take their bath of no return). Everything is priced by the pound and can be taken home raw or cooked up Cajun style with your choice of seasoning, butter and low country add-ins like sausage, corn and potatoes.

The husband and wife owners’ Louisiana roots are proven by the beignets: deceptively thin squares of chewy, layered yeast flour pastry made from scratch and covered in a blizzard of powdered sugar.
